it is (not is) water
Was (Not Was), What Up, Dog?
Yep, another "one-hit wonder, the band had its hit "Walk the Dinosaur" & released this album back in 1988.
Yep, the year I graduated high school.
You may have heard Queen Latifa's cover in Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.
Another genre-bending band, into jazz, funk, disco, & rock.
Don Was went on to record & produce artists like The Black Crowes, Garth Brooks, Poison, Ziggy Marley, Barenaked Ladies, Bob Dylan, & about a million others.
Yes, "eclectic" is the word.
Juniors:
More "Water," some of the greatest words of wisdom ever.
By demand, a DFW recommended-reading list is coming.
Remember, get out of your own head for a while when possible, re-configure your "default setting."
Because of fantastic discussion of the ideas w/in "This Is Water," we will get back to the "Forward" part of Friday 22 October.
Sophomores:
Forward!!!
Active voice.
Sounds familiar . . .
